         2) db_get netman-gui/netman-autostart
                 if [ "$RET" = "true" ]; then
                         file="/etc/xdg/autostart/netman.desktop";
                         mv/usr/share/applications/netman.desktop 
/etc/xdg/autostart/
                 fi
         ;;

This moves the /usr/share/applications/netman.desktop file to
/etc/xdg/autostart, consequently, /usr/share/applications/netman.desktop
doesn't exist anymore afterwards. And it doesn't do anything in order to
disable autostartf if $RET is not true. If the /etc/xdg/autostart file
is not supposed to be modified, I suggest creating a symlink instead, ie

ln -s/usr/share/applications/netman.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/

You could also use cp instead of mv so that the autostart file will be a
copy of the original.


Sorry, today i had a family meal. Yes, this is what is causing the "problem": if the user prefers to autostart netman automaticaly, the script removes the launcher from xfce-applications.menu, lxde-applications.menu, etc... But i can change "mv" by "cp" if you prefer so.

Cheers,

   Aitor.
